For months, the hype around Sony’s most powerful console yet has been building up, with fans excitedly waiting for the unveiling of what was then known as the “PlayStation 4 Neo.” Sony finally did so today, and it turns out that the console is actually named “PS4 Pro.” Label changes aside, however, the hardware still came through on the promised improvements in terms of muscle and efficiency.
The “PS4 Pro’s” GPU is twice as powerful as the original, PC Mag reports. Its clock speed has also been sped up and it has a larger hard drive now at 1TB. Customers can get it for $399, though it won’t be out until November 10th.
In an attempt to clear up the presence of the new console in the market when the original is still around, Sony Interactive Entertainment President Andrew House explained that the new PS4 is meant to compliment the old one. It’s a bit like how things are setup in the auto industry, where one class of car has several types of engine choices.
"With PlayStation 4 we're pretty much maxing out what 1080p TVs can do with games," House stated.
The “PS4 Pro” can maximize the capabilities of TVs that have 4K resolution as well as the high dynamic range (HDR) of high-end sets. This allows for games to be played one TVs that work on 4K, although it is still a mystery if the console itself can render these kinds of graphics.
As GameSpot notes, the upgraded console will not support 4K Blu-ray disks. This already puts the “PS4 Pro” at a hug disadvantage to “Xbox One S,” which does offer the option. Then again, the bigger storage space and the two-fold increase in GPU power does allow the console to achieve graphical feats that were previously thought were impossible for current consoles.
